Net zero and sustainability

As with the energy and auto-sectors, UK freight transport is currently undergoing a comprehensive transition away from fossil fuels. This will fundamentally reconfigure the way that rail, road, sea and air freight operates, and therefore the UK trading system as a whole.

Meanwhile, the role of ports in supporting a cleaner energy mix in the UK is currently coming into sharper focus. Join us online to hear from Alan Tinline, Head of Environment at Associated British Ports, as he discusses:

  • The scale of investment and technological and policy developments needed to make this systems shift occur
  • What to expect from the route to lower-carbon transport and ultimately net-zero in the freight sector
  • How British ports will play a significant role in supporting renewable energy in the UK
  • The implications that the decarbonisation of freight poses to existing business models, and how cross-sector collaboration will be key to mitigating risk
